neural network

Layered learning system

A neural network is a computing system modeled loosely on the brain, using interconnected nodes that process information in layers.

Data passes through these nodes, with connections strengthening or weakening as the system learns patterns.

Neural networks power modern AI applications like image recognition, language processing, and recommendation systems: The neural network learned to identify faces after training on millions of photos.
